Looks like Fort Myers is mainline (73G or A320) and Sarasota is ERJ-175

great news! SRQ has grown on me, especially since the new TPA consolidated rental car center opened. it's super convenient to AMI and lido.
hopefully there's an early evening departure that connects with the late departure bank at IAD (and allows a day at the beach before heading back north).

Both are welcome additions on any equipment (well, any other than CRJ200 and E145).
Now, if they could only add GNV and DAB (the latter of which PMCO served), I'd be able to visit all friends and family in FL without a 1.5+ hour drive (from JAX, TPA, and MCO).

But why not PBI too?

IAD-RSW is not new. I flew this route many times before they axed it, leaving only ORD-RSW, later supplemented by EWR-RSW. Good to see the reinstatement.

I am on the EWR-RSW flight a lot, and throughout the year, and it is seldom full. Mid-week, mid-January, the upgrade list was something like 35 strong, and about a dozen GS/1K preboarded.

So, so happy to hear about more flights to SRQ. Our daughter goes to New College of Florida in Sarasota and the campus abuts the airport. She can walk to the airport in about 5 minutes and nothing is quite more convenient than that. This is great news.
